Search and Playback

Video Search
In the VIDEO SEARCH screen you can search for a specifi c day for a recording and view it in playback mode. This is useful
for hunting a specifi c recording of an incident if you know the time and date it occured. To search you need to input the
date of the video then select the hour of the recording.
Note that if you don't know the exact day you want to search input just the MONTH & YEAR then click the SEARCH button.
If you want to be really vague, or look at a really long list, you can input the YEAR alone (but this isn't recommended).
All the days for that month will appear on the monthly calender below. The highlighted days are the days with recordings, color coded to
represent the recording mode which triggered the recording at the time (where red = alarm recording; green = normal recording).
To execute a Video Search:
1. Scroll over then left click the date numeric fi eld, or highlight it using the
arrow keys and press select.
2. Select a digit to alter. Once selected, it will be highlighted red and can be
edited. You will see a yellow pop up keypad. Scroll or move over the digits on
the keypad & left click or press select to input the date.
Note: the fi rst two digits of the year (2 & 0) cannot be changed.
3. Highlight the button, and left click or press select.
The Monthly Calendar
The monthly calendar displayed will change according to your
search. You will be able to search each of these days as long as
they contain a recording. To playback a specifi c recording:
• Using the mouse or the arrow buttons, highlight the date
you'd like to view. Left click, or press select.
• Then highlight the time on that date, and left click or press
select.
• You'll be able to choose half-hour blocks by placing the
green cursor on either the fi rst or second half of the hour.
• Once you've selected the time you'd like to view, you'll be
taken to the playback window.
